WELLINGTON, Dec 5 (NNN-AGENCIES) – New Zealand registered nine new cases of COVID-19, in managed isolation today, with no new community cases.
The nine new cases include one historical case and eight active cases, according to the Ministry of Health.
All the cases have been transferred to the Auckland quarantine facility.
The ministry said, the varied origins of these cases were another clear reminder of the critical importance of the mandatory isolation and testing programme, with high numbers of New Zealanders returning home before the holiday period.
“The Ministry of Health again wants to thank all staff at the managed isolation and quarantine facilities, for their efforts in keeping New Zealand safe.”
The total number of active cases is now 59 and the total number of confirmed cases has reached 1,722.– NNN-AGENCIES
